1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveTo investigate the correlation between the clinicopathological features and prognosis in patients with extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL).

methodsOne hundred and four patients diagnosed with ENKTCL at the Department of Pathology, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, China from November 1991 to September 2011 were included in the study. The clinicopathological features and their correlations with disease prognosis were evaluated in these patients.

resultsThe number of effective follow-up cases was 56 (53.8%) by the end of last follow-up in October 2015. Univariate survival analysis showed that granzyme B, perforin, and Bcl-2 expression was significantly associated with a poor prognosis in ENKTCL (

conclusionGranzyme B, perforin, and Bcl-2 expression and Ki-67 overexpression (≥50%) might be adverse prognostic factors for ENKTCL, whereas PDGFRA-positivity suggested a better disease prognosis. In addition, different treatment approaches might be closely related to patient prognosis.
